Implant-Supported Bridges in Toronto

An implant-supported bridge replaces several consecutive missing teeth using dental implants as anchors instead of preparing adjacent natural teeth. This creates a secure, comfortable restoration that restores chewing strength, protects healthy teeth, and maintains a natural-looking smile.

When implant-supported bridges are recommended

Ideal when several consecutive teeth are missing and you want a fixed, non-removable solution that feels secure and looks natural. We assess bone, bite, and adjacent teeth to confirm suitability.

Multiple consecutive missing teeth

A gap of 2–4 teeth in a row that needs stable, fixed replacement.

  • Restores chewing efficiency
  • Prevents shifting of other teeth
  • Maintains facial support

Unhappy with removable partials

Patients seeking a fixed alternative to partial dentures for better comfort and confidence.

  • No daily removal
  • More secure feel
  • Improved speech & eating

Preserving adjacent teeth

When you want to avoid preparing healthy neighboring teeth for a traditional bridge.

  • Protects natural enamel
  • Reduces future risk
  • Long-term dental health

Balanced bite restoration

When missing teeth are affecting bite alignment or causing uneven wear on remaining teeth.

  • Even force distribution
  • Reduces jaw strain
  • Supports facial harmony
Luxury detail that matters
An implant-supported bridge is more than replacement—it's precision engineering. Proper implant positioning, bite harmony, and cleanable contours create results that feel natural and last.

What to expect during implant-supported bridge treatment

Predictable and patient-centered. From planning to final bridge, every step is guided for comfort, function, and long-term success.

Implant-supported bridge FAQ

Clear answers about procedure, recovery, cleaning, and realistic expectations.

How is an implant-supported bridge different from a traditional bridge
Traditional bridges use crowned adjacent teeth as supports. Implant-supported bridges use implants, preserving healthy neighboring teeth and providing stronger, more independent support.
How many implants are needed for a bridge
Usually 2–4 implants depending on the span, bone quality, and bite forces. We design for optimal load distribution and long-term stability.
How do I clean under an implant-supported bridge
Use floss threaders, interdental brushes, or a water flosser to clean beneath the bridge daily. Regular professional cleanings keep the area healthy.
Will an implant-supported bridge feel like natural teeth
Most patients report a very secure, natural-feeling restoration—especially compared to removable options. Final comfort depends on precise bite design and customization.
How long does treatment take
Typically 4–9 months from implant placement to final bridge (including healing). Temporary restorations maintain function and appearance during the process.
What affects the cost of an implant-supported bridge
Number of implants, span length, bone condition (grafting?), materials, and complexity. We provide a clear estimate after your exam and imaging.
